– Baseline Maps

• Capture your knowledge of the systems

• Incorporate typical & industry data

• Determine what you do not know

• Identify what you want

Prioritizing Projects

TerraGraphics

Prepared By:



Considerations Unique to the IRP

• The IRP crosses political and geographic boundaries

• The IRP includes multiple types of infrastructure

• Priorities change

TerraGraphics

Prepared By:
